The Nick Margerrison podcast
The Nick Margerrison podcast.
Former Kerrang! Radio & LBC presenter Nick Margerrison's fortnightly podcast is a continuation of his often eclectic radio career.
Building on the legacy of the critically acclaimed first series "The Cult Of Nick" this podcast looks at how topics which were explored back then are now considered to be the bare bones of what is frequently termed 'the intellectual dark web'.
A proud Discordian Nick's take is always sincere but never too serious.

105 WARNING EXPLICIT CONTENT
L Vaughn Spencer features on this week's installment. Dr Jordan Grafman who is profiled here. Mary Roach is here. It is for this reason there's a warning on this episode. It's not the most obscene thing I've ever done on the radio. That title goes to the porn star who advertised auditions at a location in Birmingham, announcedit live on air. Not my finest hour. It's all taken from my archive. Music as always from www.zerofriendsrecordings.co.uk Say hello on Twitter: www.twitter.com/nickmargerrison

104 The conquest of fear, The BBC features our cult and we tackle HAARP
The centre piece for this podcast is last week's interview with Caroline Martin, the BBC journalist who interviewed me on the topic of conspiracy theories. She tweets here: https://twitter.com/cazzatalkmartin Her bigoraphy is very interesting and perhaps explains her unusual (by BBC standards) enquiring mind. I get requests reasonably frequently for things like that and intend to do as many as possible over the next few months. In the event you're one of the many cult members who work in the so-called mainstream media and you'd like to book me to do somethink for your show do get in touch. Twitter is the best place to start. Also on the show we feature an interview from the archive with Jerry E Smith on the subject of HAARP. His website is here: http://www.jerryesmith.com/ And we feature a contribution from the inspirational Geoff Thompson. I...

103 Mixed martial arts, alien mindray hats and having an ear on your arm
Michael Bisping was a good friend of the old Kerrang Show. It's odd to me that "The Night Before" seems to have anticipated many aspects of the subculture this podcast now serves. His area is mixed martial arts, he's an awesome athlete. Why this area is connected to esotericism is a mystery to most but I wrote an article on the topic for Disinfo here. Bisping's personal website is here. Michael Menkin makes alien mind ray hats. His work is featured here. Stellarc continues to astound and amaze the world. His website is here and, as is fitting with his work, it's nice and quirky. -- Music, as always, from the remarkable www.zerofriendsrecordings.co.uk My...

102 Jonathan Cainer on the new age and cosmic ordering
I saw Jonathan Cainer giving a talk about the new age, or "The Age of Aquarius". I was spellbound. I'm delighted he had time for the podcast, I think this is a really interesting little chat around the topic. If you get the chance to see him when he tours do take it. A lot of messages and feedback on this week's podcast. If you're reading this blurb on one of the websites that have started doing re-posts the main site is www.margerrisons.blogspot.com I always assume messages there are for publication. Then there's Twitter: www.twitter.com/nickmargerrison And of course the music comes from ZeroFriendsRecordings.co.uk If you're one of the musicians who occasionally sends me stuff have a listen to his material, that's the "house style" so to speak.

101 Ammach - The Alien Abduction Hotline
Joanne Summerscales is the woman who runs AMMACH, the Anomalous Mind Management, Abductee, Contactee, Helpline. Their website is here. Joanne speaks about a conference she's organising. The webspace for which is here. It's Jonanne's second appearance on the podcast, last time round we had a great response to her. Go on YouTube and look for some of their videos, well worth it. Search term AMMACH. The music is from our friends at www.zerofriendsrecordings.co.uk My Twitter is here: www.twitter.com/nickmargerrison -- As I mention in the podcast I've suddenly become very busy. This is because I am now producing The Jon Gaunt Show on FUBAR Radio. His style is abrasive and his politics are "right wing". I don't agree with everything he says...

100 Daisy Eris
Given that it's my religion, Discordianism is a constant theme on The C.O.N. Recently I went along to an event in Liverpool, which I blogged about here: http://disinfo.com/2014/02/092-cult-nick-gunnar-hansen-pulling-cosmic-trigger/ The host of the event was, Daisy Eris Campbell, also a Discordian. She features on this week's podcast with her story. She's putting together a stage adaption of one of my favourite books of all time, Cosmic Trigger. What I've seen so far was nothing short of spectacular. I feel as excited as I did when I went to see the original Judge Dredd film. However I expect to enjoy it as much as I did the recent re-boot* while experiencing non of the dissapointment which came from Stallone's half arsed cock up. Her website is here: http://cosmictriggerplay.com/ As I predicted Eris Discordia "is" rising and by...

099 The Cult Of Nick, ghosts and firsts
Overwhelmed by the donations! This was a tricky podcast to record. I kept feeling all excited and nervous about the fact people have stepped up to the plate and popped money in the tin. -- Trevor Homer is the first guest, he hated the fact I put him on the spot like that I think but went with it anyway. It's one of my favourite interviews because of the quality of his answers combined with the uncomfortable atmosphere as the poor guy has to live up to a claim I invented, namely that he knows how everything started. His website is here. Jeff Belanger is our guest on the "supernatural". His website is here. Great guest, like Trevor I would welcome him back anytime. -- Music on the podcast from www.zerofriendsrecordings.co.uk My Twitter is here.

098 ETs, psychics and life after death
The donate button has a fixed limit of £1. The principle in my head is that I reckon this podcast is worth a quid, for a year. If I were charging for subscriptions that's what I'd value it at. Thanks to those who have contributed with Bitcoins in the past, my wallet is still on the main site: www.thecultofnick.co.uk -- This podcast features contributions from: Art Campbell, his incredible claims are detailed here. Brian O'Leary, who is profiled by Wikipedia here. Ian Lawton's excellent website is here. And finally William Little has a Guardian profile here. -- Here's the article I talked about

097 Pandora Spocks and the non rational conversation...
Pandora Spocks will be your friend on Facebooks here: https://www.facebook.com/misspandoraspocks The Cult Of Nick has its own Facebook page. It's got around 100 people on it now. I don't really understand the site to be honest. Have a gander: https://www.facebook.com/CultOfNick This podcast feels less craft and more art. That's what I wanted.

096 David Shayler new interview for 2014
David Shayler is a man who used to work for MI5 but now claims he's Jesus. This interview gets right into the heart of his ideas. There are a few areas we cover that are potentially upsetting, listener discretion is advised. Nick M
